Insurance: Aetna, Anthem, Cigna

Introduction

I am a masters level intern, training to specialize in trauma and attachment wounds. My undergraduate work is in studio art and I have personally experienced the remarkable impact of art and expression on the healing of emotional scars. Therapy is not only for those who can verbalize their feelings. Sometimes words are not accessible to us, especially as children, but that doesn’t mean that deep feelings don’t also exist. I recognize that communication is constant, and as a therapist, it’s my job to listen to what is being said, whether be through play, story, or visual cues. I have genuine hope for my clients in their journey's towards living their best lives, and look for creative ways to draw on their existing strengths and talents. I am focused on building resilience, self-esteem, and pride in my clients. I feel passionate about instilling a sense of hope, and walking with people as they begin this journey of personal growth.
